Chapter 10

Dial-in Setup

This chapter shows you how to configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users including telecommuters and remote nodes. This is done in SMT menus 13 and 14.

10.1 Dial-in Users Overview

There are several differences between dial-in users and remote nodes, as summarized in the next table.

10.2 Default Dial-in User Setup

This section covers the default dial-in parameters. The parameters in menu 13 affect incoming calls from both remote dial-in users and remote nodes until authentication is completed. Once authentication is completed and if it matches a remote node, your Prestige will use the parameters from that particular remote node.

10.2.1 CLID Callback Support For Dial-In Users

CLID (Calling Line IDentification) authentication affords you the security of limiting a user to only initiate connections from a fixed location. The Prestige uses the caller ID sent by the switch to match against the CLIDs in the database. Please note that for CLID authentication to work on the Prestige, your telephone company must support caller ID. If the remote node requires mutual authentication, please fill in the O/G Username and O/G Password fields. You must also fill in these fields when a dial-in user to whom we are calling back requests authentication.
